Chapter 112 Tens of thousands of dead souls, the formation of evil
As the saying goes, when things go wrong, there must be a monster.
Everyone has no doubt that something must have happened in the twenty-four cities surrounding Qingshan Sword Sect.
Ye Wentian immediately issued an order and dispatched twenty-four escort teams to each of the twenty-four cities to check the specific situation.
But this was not enough, so he mobilized the patrol troops in the territory and rushed to each city to investigate.
Next, everyone can only wait for the news with peace of mind.
Ye Wentian took Chu Tianchen, Qi Rulong and others back to the forbidden area of Qingyun Peak to find a way to purify the evil spirit and death energy.
Although the demonic energy and deathly energy in the forbidden area are too strong, there are still demonic energy and deathly energy pouring in from the outside world.
It is difficult for everyone to cut off the source, and it is impossible to completely purify it.
But everyone can use various secret techniques to remove as much evil and death as possible.
At least it can slow down the speed at which the evil spirit's remnant soul recovers its strength, and try to delay it as long as possible.
Soon, Ye Wentian, Qi Rulong, Chu Tianchen and others were performing their unique skills in the empty cave, each showing their strengths.
With his powerful skills, Ye Wentian continuously used the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Secret Technique, releasing the most powerful thunder to forcefully dispel the evil spirit and death energy.
Qi Rulong used the secret skill of a long whale to absorb water, extracting the evil spirit and death energy from the forbidden area.
After being concentrated, the evil energy and death energy turned into purple-black mucus, which was sealed in the magic weapon 'glass bottle'.
Although, both methods worked.
But Ye Wentian's method will consume a lot of spiritual energy.
He only persisted for two hours, and 30% of his spiritual power was consumed.
Moreover, the demonic energy and death energy he dispelled were not much.
Qi Rulong's method is more efficient.
Within two hours, he drained the demonic energy and deathly energy from the cave twice.
But the glass bottle was quickly filled, and the evil energy and death energy from the outside world filled the cave again.
Only Chu Tianchen's unique skill is not only effective, but also lasts for a long time.
He used the sixteen-character mantra of the Tao of Taiqing to summon the sacred golden light pillar, which turned into a huge vortex and circled in the cave.
The vortex quickly swallows the devilish energy and deathly energy and purifies them.
Moreover, the vortex of golden light condensed by Chu Tianchen was placed above the altar.
The demonic energy and death energy that rushed towards the altar were all intercepted by the golden light vortex.
In the dark space under the altar, the evil spirit's remnant soul cannot be replenished for a long time, and its power cannot be enhanced.
Seeing that Chu Tianchen's methods were so clever and his control over Haoran's Qi had reached the level of proficiency, Ye Wentian, Qi Rulong and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Chu Tianchen did not dare to relax and be careless.
He knew very well that this was only a temporary measure and could not last too long.
Only by finding out the source of the evil energy and death energy as soon as possible and fundamentally solving the problem can long-term peace and stability be achieved.
Two hours later, the mountain guardian elder suddenly came to Ye Wentian and reported: "To report to the sect master, the defenders of the Historical City rushed out of the siege and rushed to our sect to report the news.
One day ago, a large number of men in black robes suddenly appeared in the historical city, and their movements were strange.
The origins of those men in black robes were mysterious, and they teamed up to activate the secretly arranged sealing formation, sealing off the entire city.
Then, the sealing formation rained down boundless blood and fire, quickly slaughtering the people in the city and burning the entire city into ruins.
Those men in black robes also used cruel and vicious supernatural powers to massacre the people of the historical city.
The city lord Gu Cao led all the city guards to break out of the encirclement, and after a bloody battle, they tore a gap in the seal formation.
But Gu Cao and all the city guards were killed by the men in black robes, leaving only the seriously injured and dying guard who managed to escape from the historical city..."
Suddenly hearing the news, both Ye Wentian and Qi Rulong's expressions changed dramatically, and their pupils tightened.
"The mysterious black-robed man? Destroyed the entire historical city with boundless blood and fire, massacring hundreds of thousands of people?"
"Things happened so suddenly, those men in black robes must have planned it!
If they dare to commit such a heinous crime, they are probably not human beings, but... demons!"
Chu Tianchen also frowned fiercely, thinking to himself: "The remnants of the demon clan? Is it really related to the man in blood robe?"
At this moment, a message jade slip flew from outside the forbidden area and landed in front of the mountain guardian elder.
After he read the information in the jade slip with his spiritual sense, his face darkened again, and he said in a serious tone: "Inform the sect leader, the commander of the sixth battalion of the territorial defenders will report the news.
They rushed to the nearest Blue City as quickly as possible to check the situation.
Unexpectedly, Hanlan City had been destroyed and turned into a piece of scorched earth and ruins.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city were all massacred, with bones everywhere, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
They are still searching in Hanlan City, but have found no trace of the murderer.
The strange thing is that there is no scene of rivers of blood in the city.
There are only boundless blood clouds and deathly energy floating towards our direction..."
"Halan City was also attacked by demons?" Ye Wentian's voice was cold, his eyes flashing with anger and murderous intent.
"Where did the remnants of the demon clan appear from? How audacious are they that they dare to massacre the people in our territory?"
The Great Elder, Second Elder, Chuan Gong Elder and others were also furious.
They all angrily cursed the remnants of the demon clan, and took the initiative to ask Ye Wentian to lead their disciples to destroy the remnants of the demon clan.
But Ye Wentian remained calm and suppressed the requests of several elders.
"With so many cities having trouble happening at the same time, there must be a lot of demon remnants, and they have premeditated plans.
The situation is still unclear, so if you go there rashly, you will only increase casualties!"
Within a moment, several more message slips flew in front of the mountain guardian elder one after another.
"Report to the sect master, the commander of the fourth battalion of the garrison will report.
They rushed to the nearest Xiaoshan City to check the situation and found that Xiaoshan City had been destroyed and turned into scorched earth ruins.
Half a million civilians survived, some turned into bones and skeletons, and the rest turned into mummies. They died tragically.
There is no scene of blood flowing in the city, but there is an endless cloud of blood that will last forever..."
"Informing the sect master, our twelfth guard team is here to report.
They arrived at Tuomo City and found that the city had fallen, blood and fire raged, and more than 400,000 people were killed..."
"Reporting to the sect master, Cangye City was also attacked by the remnants of the demon clan. The entire city was reduced to ruins, and 600,000 people were massacred..."
One piece of news came after another, and a series of bloody figures rushed into everyone's ears and pierced into everyone's hearts.
Not only the elders of Qingshan Sword Sect were filled with grief and anger, Qi Rulong, Song Qingyun and Mo Qiushui were also filled with rage.
The demons are the life and death enemies of the human race.
Even the common people massacred by the remnants of the demon clan have nothing to do with the Yuxiao Sect.
But Qi Rulong and the others felt the same and were furious. They wished they could rescue the remaining demons immediately and kill them quickly.
The atmosphere in the cave became increasingly heavy, sad and depressing, and everyone was filled with anger and murderous intent.
At critical moments, Ye Wentian is still the strongest and can remain calm and rational.
He made a decisive decision and said in a deep voice: "We don't have to wait any longer, although there are still more than a dozen cities with no news.
But judging from the current situation, no one in the twenty-four cities will be spared.
The people of so many cities were massacred, numbering close to tens of millions.
No wonder there is endless demonic energy, death energy, blood light and resentment, all gathered in the forbidden area.
Now that we have figured out the cause and found the source of the evil energy and death energy, we should solve the problem as soon as possible!
First, I will send several elders to lead my deacons, disciples and guards to the twenty-four cities to exterminate the remnants of the demon clan.
This is not only to avenge the innocent people who died in vain, but also to prevent the remaining demons from killing again and creating more evil and death.
Second, try to prevent the influx of evil energy and death energy, continue to clear the evil energy in the forbidden area, and do not allow the evil spirits to continue to grow.
The third thing is also the most important.
We have to find a complete solution to the problem as soon as possible!"
Seeing that Ye Wentian was calm and organized, everyone felt much more at ease.
The First Elder, the Second Elder and the Chuan Gong Elder all nodded and said in unison: "I am willing to lead my disciples to destroy the remnants of the demon clan!"
Qi Rulong nodded slightly and said: "It is up to Sect Master Ye, me and Mr. Chu to do the work of clearing away the demonic energy."
The first two things have come to an end.
But for the third thing, everyone was helpless.
Ye Wentian's eyes fell on Chu Tianchen.
While casting a spell to condense the golden light vortex, Chu Tianchen said: "The boundless evil energy and death energy are attracted by the Awesome Array. If you want to prevent the influx of evil energy and death energy, the best way is to stop the operation of the Awesome Array."
Ye Wentian weighed it, frowned and said: "If you stop operating the Haoran Formation, there will still be demonic energy and death energy gathering, but the amount will be reduced by five times.
But there is a new question. Without the Awe-inspiring Formation to seal the evil spirit’s remnant soul, wouldn’t it be that the pressure is greatly reduced and it can break out within ten days at most?”
Chu Tianchen said in a deep voice: "If the Awesome Formation is not stopped, judging from the current situation, it will break through the seal in five days at the latest?"
Ye Wentian narrowed his eyes and said in a solemn tone: "In this case, let's close the Haoran Formation first.
But we only have ten days left, and we must completely solve the problem within this period."
Chu Tianchen said thoughtfully: "The power of the Awe-inspiring Formation is far from enough to resolve the death energy and bloody light brought by millions of dead souls.
However, the third level of the Vientiane Demon-Sealing Array, the Evil-killing Array, can do it.
Because it is a great formation that surpasses the holy level!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the first elder, second elder and Chuan Gong elder of Qingshan Sword Sect immediately retorted and ridiculed.
"We have been deceived by you once, how can we trust you again?"
"You swore that the Haoran Formation could solve the problem and keep the sect safe for thousands of years. What was the result?"
"Chu Tianchen, stop using your sweet words, we won't be fooled!"
Chu Tianchen ignored them and looked at Ye Wentian calmly.
After Ye Wentian pondered for a moment, he asked in a solemn tone: "How sure are you?"
"Ten percent!" Chu Tianchen's face remained unchanged and his tone was firm: "After setting up the evil-killing array, all evil and negative forces can be killed.
If we still can't solve the problem of the evil spirit's remnant soul, I will let Sect Master Ye suffer."
